'The Mouth' Gives Eric a Free Lesson
After Eric Assadourian got caught bluffing off a large portion of his stack early, Mike "The Mouth" Matusow decided to make a new friend with some verbal jousting.
"Eric you are now officially in my 'sick' category! All I know is don't go bluffing off a quarter of your chips on level one my friend. There's a free lesson for ya. If you win this you can thank me for that lesson....I can see we're gonna have a lot of fun today!"
Assadourian is down to around 14,000 chips and has gone into his shell a little, but if he get some chips back then I'm sure we'll see some verbal fireworks between these two! -

WarneySwarm for Warne
Several members of the mainstream press are here today covering Shane Wanre's apperance in the Aussie Millions. There's a swarm of cameras around Warney's table. I managed to get one quick shot before I almost got trampled by the menagerie of cameramen.

Tables of Death
Poker News' own John "Schecky" Caldwell got a... let's call it "less than ideal" table draw, with Lee Nelson and Chip Jett seated across from him. Over at the feature table, it'll be a battle of the "mouths" with Mike Matusow and Eric Assadourian seated together. West coast players Kevin O'Donnell and Kenna James are side-by-side at Table 13, while Rayan Nathan has to contend with David Bach seated three to his right.
